MONDAY can become a nanny with the oldest, most reliable placement service in the United States. You The battle of the backsides kicked a little ass," was the dubious claim made by Vice President George Bush after his debate performance in 1 984 against vice presidential opponent Geraldine Ferraro. As Bush moves to the GOP convention in August, Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis is methodically razing the fragile political coalition, birthed by the Reagan victories in '80 and '84, from which Bush will win or lose in 1988. With the changing climate of America in mind, the question springs to mind: Who will kick whose derriere in 1988? Political hemophiliac Bush, in spite of the impending endorsement of President Ronald Reagan, a virtual walkover primary contest against Sen. Bob Dole and eight years of identity as vice president, is presiding over an unstable political coalition that is cracking at its foundations. labor states indicate that formerly Gallup polls conducted in frost-be- lt disaffected Democratic crossover bluecollar votes, a critical component of the Reagan victories in '80 and '84, are fleeing the Republican fold and claim that they will vote for apparent Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis by a margin of nearly three to one in the fall election. Further, the political aura of Ronald Reagan, on which Bush's hope for success seems to mightily rest, appears to have limited carry over to other candidates as seen in the '86 senatorial races that saw the GOP lose 1 0 seats and control of the U.S. Senate. These losses were in spite of massive White House efforts to stave off defeat. Finally, polls indicate that Bush support in critical Southern states appears soft. Reagan relied heavily on disaffected Tory Democrats in the Southern regions for his margins of victory, and it is among this group that the Bush "wimp" factor plays heavily. Without a strong southern runningmate, Bush would appear to be in for a difficult time consolidating conservative Southern Democrats as Reagan did in his two victories. Without the solid South and the support of frost-be- lt bluecollars, the GOP electoral strategy changes profoundly. Bush will be forced to sweep the West, including California where he is seen as vulnerable, in order to have any hopes of capturing the Presidency. Meanwhile, on the Democratic side, Dukakis is coming off powerful showings in Ohio, Indiana and New York and appears poised to win landslides in California and New Jersey to virtually lock up the nomination. The Dukakis campaign has played the tortoise in the Democratic errorlessly through the Democratic primaries. It has been only recently that Dukakis has caught fire and begun to engender the passion vital to a political campaign. The increasingly potent candidacy of Dukakis, given two crucial moves at the Democratic convention, appears capable of resurrecting the old New Deal coalition that has been the foundation of any successful Democratic White House bid since the days of FDR. First, Dukakis will need to placate the political aspirations of Jesse Jackson. A bloody convention fight between Dukakis and Jackson appears to be remote, as Jackson has trained his lyrical campaign trail barbs on George Bush rather than on intramural struggles with Dukakis. High level ties have already been established between the two campaigns and with Jackson solidly aboard the Dukakis campaign in the fall, the Duke can count on solid black support in November. Second, Dukakis must annoint a solid southern Democrat as his runningmate. Rumors indicate that the second spot will be offered to Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Sam Nunn of Georgia. Nunn would give the ticket strong ties to the Democratic Tory wing while at the same time give the Democratic ticket solid credibility on issues of foreign affairs and national defense. Nunn is widely popular in the South and would give Dukakis wide appeal among southern whites. Between Dukakis-Nun- n and Jackson supporters in the South, the Democrats would be poised to capture the South for the first time since 1 976 and provide Dukakis with a solid southern base. Couple this with the apparent support of midwestern labor and the northeast where Dukakis support is wide and deep and the prospect of a Democratic victory seems strong. It would seem that the GOP invincibility of the '80s is fading under the stewardship of Vice President George Bush. With key elements of the GOP electoral strategy fleeing and the reformation of the New Deal coalition, any punted posterior in '88 would appear to be that of George Bush.
